I will share my method of making Poached Eggs in this post. I know there are so many ways to make simple beautiful poach eggs. I’ll admit I have tried many of the common methods before and have ended up with a lot of wasted eggs. So, I find this method easiest and it works for me every time without fail! It may not be the best looking poached eggs around; but, it works and is certainly good enough for me. Check out the video and please let me know what you think.
How to Poach Eggs
Ingredients
4 Eggs, at room temperature
Water
A big pinch of Sea Salt
A 9 to 10 inch Pan
Method
Fill about 1 inch water and a big pinch of sea salt in the pan and bring it to a boil.
Turn off the heat. Crack one egg at a time into the water and make sure they are side by side. Closed the lid and allow the eggs to set to the desired consistency. I like my egg yolk runny, so, 3 minutes would be perfect.
Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove one egg at a time and shake off any excess water. Serve the eggs warm.
Omg! Lovely! I'll try this definitely...:)
ReplyDeleteHey! super cool, I might try over the weekend. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWe love poached eggs and toast. I do my eggs about 4 mins. They are a comfort food ~ I am kind of in the mood for one now :)
ReplyDeleteI saw some videos in youtube where they use vinegar to poach egg for egg benedict. According to them, vinegar helps stabilizing the egg.
ReplyDelete@Jasmine: Yes, but with this method you don’t need any vinegar.
ReplyDeleteNah, vinegar doesn't really do all that much and just adds a smell.
ReplyDeleteI like to crack mine into a little bowl and slide them in.
But this method needs super fresh eggs, right?
ReplyDeleteHard to get super fresh ones here.
Those sold unrefrigerated, gets watery just 2-3 days at room temp. Maybe it's due to the hot weather here that the eggs are like that.
@wendyywy @ Table for 2..... or more: It's not necessary to use fresh eggs but they must be at room temperature.
ReplyDeleteAngie, u're doing alot of videos now eh :) Nice.. I too sometimes turn off the heat, but I swirl the water in the pot b4 putting the egg in. So it comes out roundish and the yolk is in the middle of it.
ReplyDelete@Swee San: Great idea, thanks :D
ReplyDeleteI just want to tell you, my poached egg poached perfectly well!! i JUST poached an egg about 10 minutes ago to try and I ate my plate cleaned and satisfied. Thank you so much for sharing. this is indeed super easy tip. That is right, vinegar doesn't do much, i have tried it before but this method is one of the best you only need egg, water, salt and timer! i am also using an egg from my fridge that i have bought a week ago, the poached came out GRRRRREAT.
